–Yasmin sees PTI’s ‘Jail Bharo Movement’ peaceful
LAHORE
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former Chief Minister (CM) of Punjab Chaudhry Parvez Elahi said on Wednesday that the “Jail Bharo Movement” was to save the constitution and they would hold elections despite the hurdles.
During the start of the “Jail Bharo Movement,” Parvez Elahi said, “PTI top brass and other supporters presented themselves for the court arrest which was the struggle for the freedom, and the stalwarts were all set to go to jails on PTI Chief Imran Khan’s call.”
Furthermore, Mr Elahi said that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was afraid of Imran Khan as the whole nation supports him and they will not spare anyone who violates the constitution as per article 6.
It is pertinent to mention that PTI has started the “Jail Bharo Movement” from Lahore. Speaking about the protest, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Yasmin Rashid said on Wednesday that the party’s “Jail Bharo Movement” was a peaceful protest.
Speaking about the PTI’s protest, Ms Yamin said, “We always stage peaceful protests as we do not involve any unconstitutional activity.” She added that if the PTI chief had asked men to court arrest, then it would be up to women to court arrest.
She bemoaned the fact that there were only 52 days left in a three-month period, but the dates for elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had yet to be announced. Ms Rashid recalled that there would be no economic stability in the country, until there was political stability.
The PTI stalwart took a dig at the coalition government, saying, “The government continues to test the patience of the masses as in the country increases continuously.”
She lambasted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz, saying that if she [Maryam] talked about her party’s popularity, then why was the PML-N escaping the elections.
